====== La Larga Y Oscura Noche ======  

AKA, in English, **//The Long and Dark Night//**. A [[late 20th century]] [[Argentina|Argentinian timeline]] written by [[offtopic:maverick]]. It can be read [[http://www.alternatehistory.com/Discussion/showthread.php?t=109328|here]].

It holds the distinction of being one of the few of maverick's TLs that survived his ill-advised attempt at deleting and moving the threads containing said TLs.
